Haven't been able to read the whole paywall protected Crain's article, but from what was excerpted at Deadline Detroit it is not a good look for Ms. Curtis. She is thoroughly misinformed if she thinks that there is some sort of Detroit epidemic of demolitions of structures in locally designated historic districts. In the past 30 years, of the thousands of single family homes regulated by the Detroit HDC, probably less than a dozen have been demolished. Respect her passion, but her knee jerk reaction on this one is kind of disappointing.
